Hi all,
I tried to ssh to my cygwin box today and was unable to connect. It
seems the sshd service can no longer run, for reasons that mystify me:
> # net start sshd
> System error 1069 has occurred.
>
> The service did not start due to a logon failure.
I wasn't aware of having changed anything; would it be advisable to just
reinstall sshd from setup.exe and/or sshd_host_config, or is there some
simple troubleshooting I might do?
In case it helps, the sshd user in /etc/passwd is:
> sshd:unused:1003:513:sshd
> privsep,U-ryan-cms-utsc\sshd,S-1-5-21-2165564742-446954615-706276285-1003:/var/empty:/bin/bash
Thanks!
Ryan

reinstall is not the way.
Likely something reset the cyg_server privileges.
Try to re-enable them with
editrights -u cyg_server -a SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
editrights -u cyg_server -a SeCreateTokenPrivilege
editrights -u cyg_server -a SeTcbPrivilege
editrights -u cyg_server -a SeServiceLogonRight
editrights -u cyg_server -a SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege

No luck, the same error still occurs. However, now that you mention it,
I did play with cygserver settings while trying to install pgsql a while
back.
Is there a way to view the privileges to see what I may have broken?
BTW, cygserver was not runnning but starts fine; sshd still won't start,
though.
Thanks,
Ryan

$ editrights -u cyg_server -l
SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
SeCreateTokenPrivilege

Mine has all those, plus SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege (possibly thanks to
the above from Marco).
It seems that I managed to de-configure sshd somehow. There's no
sshd_config in /etc/ (just the skeleton in /etc/defaults/), and
sshd-host-config doesn't seem to exist, either. So, I blew away the sshd
and cygrunsrv services and their associated users and re-ran
ssh-host-config. All is well now... except that now an enormous ascii
art hippo greets me at login. Ick.
Thanks,
Ryan

Just be glad the hippo isn't flying! ;-)
Or you could change/remove /etc/motd.
